Fourth National Bank of the Siapian Private Sector special offer!!

Since no one lives forever, and since the reins of power can be taxing on one's health (We speak from experience, Chancellor Michael Lombard of our father country had to receive quintuple bypass surgery during his third consecutive term), it is ideal that leaders of the many great nations of this world make plans for there retirement. Great leaders need compensation for the golden ages they bring, but greatness is not always recognized immediately. For some reason, people have a hissy fit when they discover their leader has moved large quantities of money out of the country, but thats where we come in. We, at the 4th national bank of the Siapian Private Sector have experience in this "money management", but don't take it from us, listen to some of our satisfied customers:

Tony Forelli- legitamite Businessmen's social club-"It was real easy. I just left my money in the bsket and it was freshly laundered in the morning."

Augustine St. Mark- ex-Emporer of the Holy Empire of Diganda-"It was great! I started with the simple savings plan-a 1% sales tax here, a 'special' building permit there, and before I knew it, I retired to my island paradise where I could watch my nation dissolve in total comfort!"

We have several time-tested methods. One is by operating a 'safety commission' in a certain industry and slapping each new product with a special inspection fee, which is then sent through several of our front companies and then arrives in a special, secure and insured by the government of Siap certificate of deposit which is only redeemable by the account number we provide and earns a competitive interest rate. More of our methods include purchasing over-priced goods, 'accidental misplacements' in wiring transactions, or any other creative way to make money magically dissapear. Contact us now, and you'll get the limited time 2% service fee; a fraction of what we usually charge.

Do you have a trust department? I have a small island and about $1.6 Billion I've saved in a legitimate retirement account that I'd consider handing over in trust to you just in case I was to be forcibly deposed.

It would be no trouble to handle your money. It will be held in a money market and it will be invested across tax free AA or AAA bonds in Siap's public works sector. Your money will be insured, and accessible at any time.

Encrypted Message to the Fourth National Bank of the Siapian Private Sector

I am very interested in your services. I rigged the election, you see, with
'connections' in the voting machine manufacturing industry, and now I have a
bad feeling...$309.7 billion USD 'disappeared' from the last national budget if you
know what I mean, and I would like to deposit that in a slush account.

We can have a front company maintain and develop your island and we can open a private account at our bank, which would make the receiving of the money less suspicious, since the accounts are not directly linked to the person. We have several inestment options:

Passbook: Easily accessible, no minimum deposit and risk free. It earns 2.4% APR and has a monthly service fee of $40 deducted from the account.

Certificate of Deposit: Inaccesible for the agreed amount of time, but earns a strong 6% interest rate. Completely risk free and carries no service charge.

Money Market: Invested on well rated bonds, including municipal bonds and corporate bonds. Slight risk (potentialy -2% APR) but can potentialy earn up to 10% APR.

Index Fund: carries a 2% front load and a 4% back load, but has maximum potential at the cost of security. This is based against the Siapian Private Sector, which is currently performing at "Frightening".

Siap Tribune
"All the news we feel like telling you"

Accounts were in a frenzy after the controversy supposedly caused by a typographical error in the reported sale of the now bankrupt BEEPĀ® Industries. "I'm really sorry. My wife left me, my dog died, I got a parking ticket and I just quit smoking." Said a disheveled accountant, holding a cigarrette in his trembling hand.
A representative of the Siapian 4th National Bank of the Private Sector was quoted,"We understand what he going through, and how easy it is to make errors. Needless to say, we just sacked him."

Thank you for your services; you have been most helpful. I would like
to purchase $200 billion worth of Certificates of Deposit, open a Money Market
Account with $50 billion, and keep the rest in my Passbook Account.

Please send me an encrypted statement, as I don't recall the disclosure of the
laundering fees.

It has been a pleasure laundering money...er, I mean, doing business with you.

Your purchases have been approved. The 2% surcharge was part of the package, (Always read the fine print) but we squirreled it away during the laundering process. Do not fret over it, as you will recover your losses soon with your interest.
